In a dual channel supply chain that includes manufacturer, traditional retailers and consumer, consumers can directly make purchases from manufacturer online. Consumer free-riding often occurs when consumers enjoy the services provided by a traditional retailer but make purchases at a lower price from a manufacturer online. This paper is based on the neutral tax and low carbon economy, for two supply chain carbon tax modes including tax returned to the retailer and tax afforded together. The article analyzes the impacts of consumer free-riding on price and emission reduction rate. From example it can see that under the background of neutral taxation the government should adopt the policy of tax returned to the retailer, and charging higher tax rate cannot only be environmentally friendly but also reduce adverse effects of free- riding behavior on the benefits of supply chain. %U http://cea.ceaj.org/EN/10.3778/j.issn.1002-8331.1703-0148
